The Smiths, The World Won’t Listen, 1987 on Rough Trade

This is a compilation album—the second of three—including singles and b-sides from 1985-1987. Most of these tracks also appear on Louder Than Bombs (a 2xLP), but two are different versions and two are edits.

Fantastic collection of songs, including “Panic,” “Ask,” “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore,” and “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby.”

What teenager hasn’t felt “And I’ve got no right to take my place in the human race . . . “?

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK issue from 1987, pressed by MPO. (Louder than Bombs was released in the US in lieu of this record, which was not released on vinyl in the US until the 2011 reissue series).

The Smiths, Strangeways Here We Come, 1987 on Rough Trade.

Fourth (and final) studio album from The Smiths, produced by Stephen Street, Morrissey, and Johnny Marr and recorded at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset. On constant repeat in my late 80s experience.

Strangeways was a prison in Manchester (now Manchester Prison) – The Smiths had previously used the Salford Lad’s Club for the cover of The Queen is Dead.

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2009 Rhino reissue which sounds great (though I don’t have an 80s pressing to compare it to).

#DJbunuel harvoin ottaa #LuxMedDJbunuel issa ns. kantaa mihinkään, vaan kun tapojensa mukaan soittaa parhaillaan vastikään menehtyneen muusikon musiikkia (#AndyRourke / #TheSmiths), sanoi, että #Lux ei kannata #Morrissey n poliittisia mielipiteitä, vaan kappale (Girlfriend in a Coma) soitetaan puhtaasti #musiikki n takia, ja #Rourke n kunniaksi.
